Professor Yarris’s new book
Professor Kristin Yarris in the International Studies department at the University of Oregon centers her research around the around the social determinants of health and wellbeing and the cultural shaping of illness and distress in different global locations. In her book, released in August 2017, Care Across Generations: Solidarity and Sacrifice in Transnational Families (Stanford University Press, 2017), Yarris shows how intergenerational caregiving not only reflects gendered and political-economic constraints but also generates strong emotional ties and sources of cultural resilience for families in the face of the disruption of transnational migration.
